Ramona Commerce Center, located in proximity/access to three major Interstates, the nation’s busiest port system, and Ontario Airport in Perris, California, will be leased out to a Fortune 500 industrial supplier. Though, the company was not named. The news was first reported on GlobeSt.com.

IDI Logistics is the developer of this project which has an impressive lineup of customers, from Porsche Cars North America to Mitsubishi Electric, that it has helped relocate to bigger and better places in the country.

Heart of a Major Distribution Market in America

The Ramona Commerce Center, built on 24 acres of land, is located in the heart of a thriving distribution market of the country. An industrial supplier obtaining the location on lease makes sense as the center is strategically located. For instance, it is just 34 miles away from the Ontario Airport and 82 miles from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Further, it is just 78 miles away from the Los Angeles & Long Beach Ports.
